David,

I suspected the same thing, so I double checked my download. It's the
*.zip (39,184,340  12-16-03 10:59p cocoon-latest-src.zip). Still, I had
to correct the batch files. I don't know why that hit me and not
others. Maybe other versions of Windows deal with it better. There are
two other strange things I needed to do to make cocoon work in my
Windows 98 installation: Building the compile (default) target didn't
create the webapps directory. I built the war target and that did it.
Hmm. So this would seem to be Ant stuff not working. Strange.  If you're 
able to look further, I think you'll find the Ant targets in 
tools/targets. Have a look there to see if you can find anything. If 
not, could you add a page to the Wiki about it? Maybe

http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=Windows98

Also, if I run "cocoon servlet" twice in the same DOS window, it hangs
the second time. Turning on echo in the batch file showed that it jumps
to the wrong label on subesquent runs of the batch file in the same
window (batch file code and output shown below). The work around is to
run from a new shell window each time I want to restart cocoon.
 

Sounds like an environment variable that is not getting cleared. Type 
'env' before running Cocoon the first time, then again after having run 
it, and see if there's anything that's different.

Windows 98 is weird.
 

Windows is wierd.

Thanks to all,

It repeats going to gotJettyPort when it should go to gotJettyAdminPort
forever. But only if I've run and halted (with <ctrl>c) "cocoon
servlet" in that window before.

Regarding the line-endings issue, it sounds like you have
mistakenly downloaded the UNIX distribution (*.tar.gz) rather
than the Win dist (*.zip).
